	Media	Author	Review
		Todd McCarthy Variety	"Although involving, this remake of a recent French film never reaches the anticipated heights of excitement and suspense"
		Justin Chang Variety	"Paul Haggis' middling fourth feature evinces a sometimes pulse-quickening fascination with procedural details, and climaxes with a good dose of swift, suspenseful filmmaking. But what was briskly diverting in the original has been rather laboriously overworked"
		David Denby The New Yorker	"'The Next Three Days” is an honorably made film, but it’s a caper without play or wit, a caper with real, suffering people in it, and a contradiction from beginning to end"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Is a competent thriller, but maybe could have been more. (...) It's sort of slow, because it spells out a lot of details, but it kept me involved. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
